Does anyone know what it really means when it says our car is XM Ready? 2006 Civic Sedan with Navi. Does this mean there's an XM antenna already installed? What is required to be bought? from XM instead of being jacked by Honda...

 

xm ready means Honda will charge you $800 to put it in your car. it's not really "ready"...

 

it means your oem radio can control XM thru the unit and controls

if you purchase the XM brain ( avail from honda) for $

 

Thanks everyone. Type X, do you know if there's a cheaper alternative to Honda's way?

Yes... just buy an XM receiver and plug it into your aux port and use that

HOWEVER you will than have another unit and lose honda radio controls
but you will still be able to control VOLUME on your steering wheel and toggle out of Mode's ( CD etc etc )
